It's only a little over two centuries ago that Richard Arkwright built his first factory for cotton manufacturing in what is now the centre of the city of Manchester.
In doing so, he turned the city into the power house and driving force behind the new cotton industry.
Built in 1780, today what is left of it lies buried beneath a car park. Time Team has three days to locate and investigate one of the most important historic sites in Britain.
